Random!
As a quiz for two of my 5th grades classes last Friday at one of my four elementary schools, I asked three questions.
1) What does random mean? Define
2) What does the acronym ROYGVB mean? Define
3) List the colors from the acronym your class chose for your project: ROBVP or RYGBP.
I thought I would share their answers. Not only did a good portion of the students know what random meant, but they were able to list the colors for ROYGVB and ROBVP or RYGBP. We had learned these colors and terms over the course of the last couple weeks. However, some students spelling of the words and colors provided me with interesting reading!! The following answers are verbatim. The only addition is adding { } for a word.
Random:
You are different; you do something out of the unordanary; I like to dance: crazy out of the black choose in a un recunized order; something out of the oridenrnery. You just pick one; Non specific; just do something without thinking; random is a word out of the blue; to do something out of nowere; something unexped; uneckspeted; anything that comes to your mind; weird, different; something srasy happins something popes out of know where; random means its chosen from a set of letters or numbers; something just that comes rough; random on expectid. Random means multiple things.
ROYGBV= Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Violet. The primary and secondary colors on the color wheel. However, the students spelling of the color is a little different.
Oregenge, oragnge orang and orgh; Yello, yeloy; Villot, vilot, vilet, vilit; blow {blue}
The students had chosen their colors for their class projects the week before.
The color acronyms for Class 1 were: ROBVP. Red, Orange, Blue, Violet and P=Pink. I told them the color wheel had all the colors but one. Because this color was a tint, and not on the color wheel. There was a color wheel in the room for them to see. The other acronym for Class 2 was RYGBP. Red, Yellow, Green, Blue and P=Pink. Most of the student got these acronyms as well.
It was a fun quiz, and while the students self-assessed, it was good for me to know what they had learned so that I could, if needed, do some formative assessment in my teaching. The quiz set the tone for their project, Color sticks. The students loved the randomness of it, and did a great job!
